Chapter 74 The Supreme Path is Not Annoying, But Determined to Preserve the Truth; All the Hundred Joints of the Niwan Palace Have Spirits!
An Qisheng was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered that there was no Huang Ting Jing in this world.
*Huang Ting Jing* (Yellow Court Scripture) is a famous Taoist health book from his previous life, a major classic for internal alchemy practitioners. It is divided into *Huang Ting Wai Jing Yu Jing* (Yellow Court Outer Scene Jade Scripture), *Huang Ting Zhong Jing* (Yellow Court Middle Scene Scripture), and *Huang Ting Nei Jing Yu Jing* (Yellow Court Inner Scene Jade Scripture).
The book believes that there are gods everywhere in the human body. The well-known theory of the three *dantian* (energy centers) originates from the *Huang Ting Jing*.
"The theory of 36,000 gods is quite interesting."
Daoist Juechen seemed to be lost in thought.
Having reached his realm, he could tell the truth from falsehood at a glance. He could naturally see that An Qisheng was hiding something, but he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Who doesn't have a secret?
"It's an old book I read when I was a child, and it's been a long time, so I can't remember the essence of it very clearly."
An Qisheng smiled wryly. He was not deliberately hiding it.
The *Huang Ting Jing* was a famous Taoist book from his previous life's memories. He still had an impression of it, but only a vague one.
He only remembered that there was a saying in the *Huang Ting Jing*: 'The ultimate Tao does not bother with decisive preservation of truth; in the *niwan* (brain region) and hundreds of joints, there are all gods.'
The complete scripture, he really couldn't remember it clearly.
His spirit was beyond ordinary people, but it was impossible for him to remember all the big and small events of his previous decades of experience.
"Seeing the god of gods, it sounds mysterious, but it's just about the microscopic control of the physical body, referring to the sensitive and subtle acupoints of the human body as if they were controlling the gods of heaven and earth, grasping the deep-seated operation secrets of the human body. That *Huang Ting Jing* may have been left by an unknown grandmaster in ancient times."
Daoist Juechen waved his hand, not too concerned.
He had already cultivated to the realm of seeing gods, and the sages' classics from ancient times to the present were of no use to him.
His appearance this time was also because the changes that had occurred in An Qisheng were too special.
"It should be..."
An Qisheng touched his nose.
There were several theories in his previous life about who wrote the *Huang Ting Jing*. Some said it was written by Lao Tzu, and others said it was written by Madam Wei Huacun, the first generation grandmaster of the Shangqing School.
But no matter who it was, they were all worthy grandmasters.
"You can feel 'god,' which is not something a Taoist scripture can do."
Daoist Juechen shook his head slightly:
"I have never seen this kind of experience in my life. If possible, you might as well tell the old Taoist about it."
"Of course."
An Qisheng organized his words slightly and began to talk about his experiences during this period:
"I entered *Huajin* (Transformation Strength) a few days ago. I was practicing boxing in the mountains, and I became engrossed... The consciousness of the organs was just a vague idea. I just vaguely felt the pleasure of my body..."
"Your spirit is indeed special."
Daoist Juechen nodded slightly, seeming to understand:
"People are different. Some people are born with divine power, and their physique is different from ordinary people. Naturally, some people are born with a strong 'god.' The legendary ones were all born with knowledge and could speak upon descent.
Innate talent, or extraordinary destiny. People like you may not be considered geniuses in the early stages of martial arts, but once you practice to a profound level, you are a true genius."
"How can I be compared with the sages?"
An Qisheng smiled wryly, but his heart skipped a beat.
Born with knowledge and able to speak upon descent, he seemed to be like that indeed.
"How can you not be compared with them?"
Daoist Juechen smiled faintly:
"From ancient times to the present, mankind as a whole has been progressing. The past is not as good as the present. How can people today not be compared with their predecessors? It's just that the overall leap of today's society makes it difficult for individuals to achieve the status of ancient sages at that time."
Saying that, Daoist Juechen's eyes fell on An Qisheng:
"Last time, you were able to sense the whereabouts of Mu Longcheng, which already explained this point. There is no need to exaggerate, but there is no need to be self-effacing. Or do you think that ordinary people can sense the consciousness of organs?"
"Daoist is praising me too much, and I'm a little embarrassed."
An Qisheng shook his head.
"You deserve it."
Daoist Juechen said lightly:
"Some people are born as princes, nobles, and the wealthiest families. Some people are born with divine power. Naturally, some people have extraordinary destinies. There is no need to boast about this; it is just the truth. Your perception of the body's gods today is of immeasurable benefit to you."
An Qisheng did not expect that this accidental perception would receive such high praise from Daoist Juechen.
"The Tao follows nature, and martial arts resides in the body! I have said everything I need to say, and I shall leave now."
Daoist Juechen waved his sleeves, and his figure gradually faded away. With a few flashes, he had disappeared into the clouds and mist.
"The Tao follows nature, and martial arts resides in the body..."
An Qisheng frowned slightly.
At this time, the red sun rose, and the mountain mist had begun to dissipate.
He was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He found a large enough stone and sat cross-legged on it.
Ordinary martial artists, even if they have made a breakthrough, find it difficult to have a direct impression of their progress.
But for An Qisheng, he could see every bit of his progress.
Buzz~
His eyes closed slightly, and his state appeared in his field of vision:
An Qisheng]
Specialties: Bajiquan (89%), Liuhe Big Spear (89%), Dragon-Tiger Big Capturing Hand (69%), Ancient Gate Mind Intent Boxing (60%), Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, Tiger Howl Golden Bell Cover (85%)....]
State: Gradually Weakening (Terminal Illness), *Baodan* (Embracing Core) Level Strength State (91%)]
91%!
An Qisheng opened his eyes.
Even though he had expected that his harvest this time would be great, he was still a little shaken.
His mastery of *Baodan* (Embracing Core) Strength was already close to the realm of Wang Honglin three hundred years ago!
Only 9% away, and he could achieve *Baodan* (Embracing Core)!
And this was not his biggest progress. His biggest progress was in horizontal training!
"I went from Cang City to Wudang Mountain, and the time is at most only two months..."
An Qisheng was a little shocked.
Only then did he realize why even Daoist Juechen was alarmed by him.
The state he had fallen into before was simply comparable to the legendary sudden enlightenment, enlightenment!
"Is this what Daoist Juechen said, 'Martial arts resides in the body'? The path that the body spontaneously desires, the path of pleasure, is the truly correct path of boxing?"
"I only initially felt the pleasure of my organs, and subconsciously walked in the direction that would make my body happy, and the harvest was already so great. How terrifying will the progress of those *Jian Shen* (Seeing the Divine) grandmasters who can truly see the gods in their bodies be?"
After the surprise, An Qisheng had a new understanding of the power of *Jian Shen* (Seeing the Divine) martial artists.
His heart stirred, although it quickly calmed down, but his mind was still turning.
He himself did not quite believe in Daoist Juechen's theory of destiny, nor did he think that he was one of those legendary people who were born with knowledge.
But whether it was by chance or because his mental power was really strong.
His progress at this time was real.
A correct path will indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Vaguely, he felt that he was on a different path from ordinary martial artists.
If he had not yet achieved *Baodan* (Embracing Core), but had seen the gods first, what would happen?
"The ultimate Tao does not bother with decisive preservation of truth; in the *niwan* (brain region) and hundreds of joints, there are all gods... This seems to coincide with the *Jian Shen* (Seeing the Divine) realm that Daoist Juechen mentioned..."
An Qisheng murmured to himself:
"*Huang Ting Jing*, I only remember that there is a theory of three parts, eight sceneries, and twenty-four gods in it. What exactly was written in it..."
On the sunlit mountaintop, An Qisheng fell into deep thought.
